24The wealth of the wise is their crown,but the folly of fools yields folly.
25A truthful witness saves lives,but a false witness is deceitful.
26Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress,and for their children it will be a refuge.
27The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,turning a person from the snares of death.
28A large population is a king’s glory,but without subjects a prince is ruined.
29Whoever is patient has great understanding,but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.
